Porsche 911 Rindt Design 3.2 Litre Carrera Classic Coupe

Finished in Gulf livery with Gulf-inspired tartan fabric interior, orange and blue stitching to the Linen leather seats, fitted with replica Group 4 Campagnolo wheels finish the overall look. It was to Berkshire-based Rindt that the current owner turned to for this G-Series example, which dates from 1974, the year she was born. Interviewed for a six-page article in Classic Porsche magazine (August 2024 edition), company founder Brian Richardson explained why the was adamant that she wanted a bespoke 911 based on a car originally manufactured in the year of her birth. She had specific requirements beyond age of the donor vehicle, though. For example, despite the competition-inspired look, which obviously takes heavy influence from Gulf livery worn by the JW Automotive 917s fielded five decades ago, she explicitly stated that she wanted a 911 built to touring specification, ideally with an automatic transmission." Hence this car is equipped with Porsche's four-speed semi-automatic Sportomatic gearbox. Rindt started by sourcing a suitable donor car: a basket-case example minus engine and gearbox, which was purchased from Northern Ireland in need of complete restoration. Such was the poor condition of the bodyshell that it spent four months undergoing renovation on Rindt's body jig, receiving fresh metal where required and being modified to '2.7 RS' specification, which included shortening and narrowing it, flaring the wheelarches, and fitting a duck-tail spoiler at the rear. Under the rear hood reveals a rebuilt 3.2-litre engine (the original would have been a 2.7), which has been equipped with a Jenvey Dynamics fuel injection kit and programmable ECU, while the gearbox has been beefed up to handle the increased power output. For the bespoke interior our vendor specified heated and electrically operated seats from a Type 964; a Kenwood touchscreen infotainment and satellite navigation system; Classic Retrofit air conditioning; Gulf-inspired tartan fabric interior embellishment; a MoMo Prototipo Black Edition steering wheel; orange and blue stitching to the Linen leather seats; Quickfit Safety custom seat belts; twin Smiths stopwatches; leather-trimmed dashboard top-roll; and personalised dials featuring the owner's initials. The Kenwood system incorporates Apple CarPlay and also provides the reversing camera display. Front and rear parking sensors are fitted also. Rindt's logo has been applied to the interior, exterior, and even one of the cooling fan's blades. Please call for and appointment to view this stunning 911 in unique specification.
